Showing Original Post only (View all)Today is a big day in Garlands J6 investigation. [View all]
Today the seditious conspiracy trial for the oath keepers begins. There is a lot riding on this trial. If successful, this trial will set the stage for future indictments of Trump and his inner circle.
This trial will most likely tie the oath keepers to people in Trumps White House and his inner circle. This trial is a big deal. The Oath Keepers are blaming Trump as their defense.
If the oath keepers are convicted for seditious conspiracy, Trump and his merry band of traitors will be in deep shit.
For all the people complaining about Garland not doing enough, today is the day you have been waiting for.

There are some oath keepers who will testify as part of their plea deals.

No, it has not been a failure. That's how criminal investigations are done, from the bottom up.

J6 committee faces MUCH LOWER standard. Doesn't have to try cases in front of judge and jury. nt

The bar is much higher for the DoJ. Heard of "beyond a reasonable doubt"?

Just give it up. The J6 committee can do that because they can't indict and don't indict

There are other types of conspiracies Trump can be charged with, it doesn't have to be for sedition.

Conspiracy to defraud the government. Conspiracy to commit election fraud.

If so, that's a problem. Because the DOJ is explicitly and specifically keeping tfg out of it.

The pressure must be a getting intense for the oath keepers. It's game time.

If we had a truly "just" justice system, Trump would be in jail for secret documents possession...
